Aberrant Distress

I've been worrying a lot lately about a whole range of different things, for different reasons. It may seem quite reasonable to worry about such things, but when you stop and think about it, does it actually make any sense?

Worry. It's completely pointless. It achieves absolutely nothing. Really, the only thing that worry does is waste energy, waste emotions and make things worse.

So then, why do we do it? It's normal, natural, to worry about things. But just because something happens naturally does not make it right.

If you think about it, most of the things you worry about are completely out of your control. Not all the time, but more often than not. Sometimes you can't do anything about a situation; all you can do is worry. But why would you? Is that not simply a waste of energy? If you can't do anything about something then there is no point in worrying.

Sit back. Relax. Don't distress. Just do what you can and leave it at that. At the end of the day, you can only do what you can do, and then move on. Let's forget the worry. That's never solved anything.
